Title: How to differentiate sub package and main package name in android?

Question

Problem: I'm developing content display app. Now I want to enable GCM push notification app, for that I downloaded a sample project from

http://www.androidhive.info/2012/10/android-push-notifications-using-google-cloud-messaging-gcm-php-and-mysql/

The sample project is working fine and notification are coming as expected. Now I copy pasted the following files to my project
1. manifest file
2. xml file
3. values file
4. MainActivity file

I changed the Packagename that I need from the pervious code that I copied but still it is not working. Please guide me which line i should change the packagename of project , where I should use class packagename and in where i should use the project packagename.

It is giving me error because the package name and sub package name are same.

Code: 



           <application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <!-- Register Activity -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications.RegisterActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

    <!-- Main Activity -->
    <activity
        android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications.MainActivity"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
    </activity>

    <receiver
        android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver"
        android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
        <intent-filter>

            <!-- Receives the actual messages. -->
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            <!-- Receives the registration id. -->
            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />

            <category android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

    <service android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications.GCMIntentService" />
</application>

being a newbie in android development, I'm not able to figure out which is the main package name in this code.

Any suggestion would be great!. thanks in advance

We add it like this:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.mymain.package"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

Sarthak Mittal is right, but you also need to change your manifest for main activity:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 package="com.mymain.package"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >


   <activity
    android:name="com.androidhive.pushnotifications.MainActivity"
    android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >

     <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>
